Huge police response called to tackle three black Airbnb guests because neighbour assumed they were burglars

A helicopter and a squad of police cars were sent to detain a group of black friends while they stayed in an Airbnb after a neighbour called the authorities because they thought a burglary was underway. Three friends, including one of Bob Marley’s granddaughters, were leaving the Airbnb rental property in Rialto, California, when they were surrounded by police officers and ultimately arrested. The neighbour saw the group of friends, whom she did not recognise, loading a car with suitcases.
